VideoLAN and Huawei are in a fight. So much so, that you can no longer grab the ever-popular, feature-packed VLC media player app from the Google Play Store on Huawei smartphones—VideoLAN’s nuclear option. But you can still download the VLC .APK directly from VideoLAN, and you should... with a few adjustments.

VLC, the Swiss Army knife of media players, has been updated to version 3.0. The latest version adds some much-needed features to the player, including one that could make streaming all that content from your computer to your living room TV a lot easier: Chromecast support (among other things).

VLC is one of the most popular media players around. It works on most platforms and can handle almost any type of file. It’s damn near perfect, but you could be getting even more out of VLC by using experimental nightly builds instead of the official version.

VLC is already available for Windows 10, but this newly-released “Modern” beta runs on the Universal Windows Platform. That means it’ll get some special features, including Cortana support and live tiles, and it’ll be perfect for the Xbox One, Windows tablets, and even HoloLens, when it’s released.

The VLC app for Android has allowed you to stream videos across your network for a while, but it always required a direct link to the file. Now, the latest beta allows you to browse your folders on shared devices.

Android: VLC has slowly but surely been working to become as well-known for its Android app as it is for the desktop version. It’s taken another step in that direction with background playback for videos on Android.

Android: VLC has been one of our favorite media players for forever. After a lengthy stint in a beta (plus some region lock annoyances), the app finally graduated to version 1.0. It's now out of beta, though releasing on time is still up for debate.

Watching movies and TV shows on your computer is easy, but if you do a lot of downloading or ripping, you need a video player that's lightweight, can handle virtually anything you throw at it, whether it has subtitles, was encoded a long time ago with some obscure codec, or came in a strange file format. This week…

Windows/Mac/Linux: VLC is one of our favorite video players out there. The release of version 2.1 packs in a ton of new features, including significant improvements to how it handles outputting videos to mobile devices like Android and iPhone, and more.

VLC was released back into the iTunes App Store last month, and that means one of the best media players out there is finally back on the iPhone and iPad. If you don't want to use iTunes just to use VLC, How-To Geek points out that tucked away within VLC's settings is a way to upload files from your computer to your…

iOS: VLC, one of the best media players for the desktop, has had a long and tumultuous history, but it's back today after being rebuilt from the ground up to be fast and flexible, play virtually any video file, and so Apple won't give it the boot.

Listening to playlists on YouTube is a great way to check out new music for free, but you have to keep your browser open and you have to watch a bunch of ads. If you'd like a cleaner experience, tech blog Digital Inspiration shows how to play playlists in the VLC media player.

The media player finally launched an Android beta today, and it brings VLC's trademark play-anything goodness, multi-track subtitle support, and even whole-library management tools to Android devices, but be warned: the developers…
